Liu Ping's army has reached the city of Xijinfu, and the battle was very smooth in the early stage. This time, we should be able to conquer Xijinfu in one fell swoop, right?" Zhao Zhen said excitedly while watching the battle report.

"I suffered a small loss when crossing the river, but the impact was not great, and the supplies also followed. Now a 100,000 army is besieging the Xijin Prefecture. With the strength of the 30,000 troops of the Xijin Prefecture, it will probably not take long to fall." Li Zhang said happily at this time.

During this period, Hebei's battle reports have been sent here one after another, so that they can check the battle situation on the front line at any time. The battle reports just sent today even more showed that the army had reached Xijin Prefecture, which made Zhao Zhen extremely excited.

In fact, Zhao Zhen had to be excited. After all, seeing the career that his two grandfathers had not been able to complete was now completed shortly after he ascended the throne, and it was even possible to completely destroy the Liao Kingdom in the future. If such achievements were written in history books, they could be compared with Emperor Wu of Han who expelled the Huns. Maybe he could get the temple name of Emperor Wu after his death.

"Cousin, I want to reward the three armies. What do you think?" Zhao Zhen rubbed his hands excitedly at this time, and then spoke to Li Zhang.

"It's too early. It's not too late to send someone to the Xijin Mansion after taking it down." Li Zhang couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Although Liu Ping seemed to have an advantage in the current situation, the battlefield changed rapidly, and no one could be sure what would happen next second. If Zhao Zhen rewarded the army and the Xijin Mansion could not take it down, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the emperor?

Zhao Zhen actually knew that he was too anxious. He just thought that after taking down Xijin Prefecture, the entire Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun would almost fall into the control of the Song Dynasty. This made him unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, and even wanted to yell twice before he could vent it. However, he was the emperor and had to maintain his demeanor at all times, so he could only think about this kind of thing.

"Your Majesty, if Liu Ping takes back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, I am afraid that the rewards of a governor will definitely be indispensable. In addition, there are the rewards of Guo Zun, Cao Ya, and Hu Yan Shouxin. The court may be bleeding heavily by then." Li Zhang smiled and changed the subject.

"It's just a reward. As long as they can get the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun back, let alone the governor, I'm willing to give up even a prince!" Zhao Zhen waved his hand again.

"Your Majesty must not be allowed. Even if you want to give the title of the prince, Liu Ping may not dare to accept it!" Li Zhang said laughing and crying when he heard this.

There were almost no kings of different surnames in the Song Dynasty, and some were also given a reward after death. For example, Zhao Pu, the founding hero, only paid a reward after death. Later, Zhao Hengshi was posthumously named King Han, but Zhao Zhen now wanted to grant Liu Ping the title of Prince, which obviously violated the rules of the court.

Zhao Zhen also smiled when he heard this. In fact, he was just saying that although he had broken many rules left by his ancestors, some rules should still be followed. For example, if a different surname is not a king, this is a lesson left by countless blood and tears.

Seeing Zhao Zhen so excited, Li Zhang no longer wanted to talk to him about the frontline affairs, so he would not say anything amazing. So he changed the subject again and said, "By the way, how is your relationship with the queen? My aunt didn't force you again, right?"

Sure enough, when the Empress Cao mentioned, Zhao Zhen's excitement just now disappeared without a trace. He shook his head helplessly and said, "It's still the same. I don't want to see her now, but my mother insists on forcing me and her to complete the family. I almost dare not see her now."

"Let's do this, I'll go see my aunt when I have time, and I'll help you persuade her." Li Zhang only thought for a while before speaking. He originally didn't want to care about Zhao Zhen's family affairs, and there was no way to deal with this kind of thing, but Empress Dowager Li's approach was obviously a problem. Now Zhao Zhen has forced Zhao Zhen out of rebelliousness. In other words, the more Empress Dowager Li forced Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao to reconcile the family, the more Zhao Zhen was disgusted with Empress Cao, which almost became a vicious cycle.

"That's great. Cousin, you must persuade your mother. There are so many women in the harem waiting for me to come. How can I have time to pay attention to a woman I hate?" Zhao Zhen saw Li Zhang asking for help on his own initiative, and immediately said happily. He wanted to ask Li Zhang for help before, but Li Zhang refused. Unexpectedly, he finally changed his mind now.

"I heard that a woman in the palace is pregnant again?" Li Zhang suddenly spoke again. Before Empress Zhang gave birth to a prince, but no other woman in the palace was pregnant. However, after Empress Cao entered the palace, a woman in the palace suddenly became pregnant again, and it was not one. This was also very happy in the court. After all, the emperor's descendants were prosperous, so there would be more choices for the throne in the future.

"Yes, Wang Pin and Meiren Zhou are pregnant. This time I hope to have a daughter, as cute as your Anran." When talking about her woman's pregnancy, Zhao Zhen said happily again.

However, when Zhao Zhen said this, he suddenly sighed again, and then said again: "It was precisely because Wang and Meiren Zhou were pregnant at the same time that the queen mother said that the woman had two concubines pregnant as soon as she entered the palace. It must be a sign of a prosperous husband. I don't know what to say?"

Li Zhang also patted Zhao Zhen on the shoulder to comfort him when he heard this. He had nothing to say about this. He could only say that Empress Cao was so lucky that she happened to be pregnant. Then he said again: "Please put Empress Cao's side in advance. With Fang'er, you will be under much less pressure. It's good to have a cute daughter."

"How is your cousin? You and Qingori can't have one daughter. You will need your son to inherit the family business in the future. I hope your cousin will give birth to a son this time." Zhao Zhen also asked at this time. He also knew about Qingori's pregnancy. Of course, he didn't know that Li Zhang was not worse than him. In addition to Qingori, his sister Miaoyuan was also pregnant.

"Cough~, Qingori is okay, it's just that morning sickness is very good." When it comes to Qingori, Li Zhang also thought of Miaoyuan and replied unnaturally.

"The day before yesterday, I sent a lot of supplements to the south. I'll take some back to help my cousin replenish my body." Zhao Zhen did not notice Li Zhang's abnormality, but said again that two concubines in the palace were pregnant, so he naturally purchased a lot of supplements, which could be given to Li Zhang.
